Jeanneret Wines, located in the renowned Clare Valley of South Australia, is a boutique, family-owned winery known for producing small-batch, handcrafted wines that express both the unique terroir of the region and the winemaker’s thoughtful approach. Established in 1992 by self-taught winemaker Ben Jeanneret, the winery has built a reputation for bold, character-driven wines made with minimal intervention.
The Clare Valley is particularly celebrated for its Rieslings, and Jeanneret Wines is no exception—its crisp, aromatic Riesling is a standout, often exhibiting vibrant citrus, floral, and mineral notes that reflect the region’s cool nights and limestone soils. In addition to Riesling, Jeanneret produces a range of red varietals including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, all of which benefit from low-yielding vines and careful barrel aging to achieve balance and complexity.
The winemaking philosophy at Jeanneret is centered on authenticity and purity of expression, with a hands-on approach that allows the grapes to guide the final product. Wild yeast fermentation, minimal filtration, and selective use of oak are hallmarks of their technique.
